Spade_Cooley 9,001 Posted February 20, 2017 Let's create lots of work for the mods by suggesting "descriptions" for threads that currently don't have any. For instance, Wrestlers/actors should surely be "Getting buried" Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

msc 17,707 Posted February 20, 2017 For instance, Wrestlers/actors should surely be "Getting buried" Otherwise, I have nothing, which will come as no shock to those who see the awful puns I come up with in The Crowdsourced Deathlist thread... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Whitehouse 820 Posted March 8, 2017 During an update virtually all the subtexts were deleted. I managed to remember some and those have been inserted back into the current forum. Here are some more.

msc 17,707 Posted March 9, 2017 Dead Pop Stars Heard them on the radio Just because I think it was Maryport, and I appreciate the reference, before cursing it as I couldn't get Clare Grogan's voice out of my head for the rest of the day! The other ones I remember (bar Robert Hardy, which was awful and thus I conveniently forget) are dead folk. Dr Zhiva-gone, that was a classic... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Spade_Cooley 9,001 Posted July 20, 2017 We can readd "No more drugs than your average funk band" to "professional cyclists". "Had his chips" is the obvious one for John McCain, any advances? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Joey Russ 7,118 Posted July 20, 2017 How about for this thread: it doesn't need a tagline. Just to be ironic. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Toast 14,782 Posted July 20, 2017 Not a tagline suggestion, but I keep seeing 'readd' as a typo for 'read'. Perhaps something like 'Thread Description Restoration Project' might be clearer. Probably just me though. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

msc 17,707 Posted July 25, 2017 Looking for an old thread, stumbled across Steve Fossett. Reminded me I always liked the tagline on his thread: (paraphrased) 700 take offs, 699 successful landings... Or something like that. Amusingly, 4 silly sods picked Fossett in the 2008 DDP, and swiftly got no points. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

YoungWillz 18,905 Posted July 21, 2018 Oh gawd Toastie, but then some of our newer members wouldn't have the gift of reading contributions from such luminaries of the board such as Godot, Josco, Banshees Scream, etc etc. Might encourage them to up their game...or in some cases lower it!
